'More taxes are coming from Labour if they win' - Defence secretary
Defence Secretary Grant Shapps has warned that a Labour government would be "very bad news", claiming it would mean "higher taxes for everyone".
Asked about a poll which suggested the Conservatives will only have 72 seats in the next parliament, the minister said: "No one has voted yet".

But actually very likely that Labour will come for more money. Moreover, the idea it will be paid by the very rich never actually happens (they move money and/or leave). It will be paid by the middle classes and those who have saved or have assets.

@@ridleyclayburn4599 Whoever takes over from this shower will have to budget accordingly because of so many incompetent policies have left the country in a poor fiscal state. This is because of Tory policies. It’s not the fault of the incoming administration but unfortunately it will be a poisoned chalice that we all have to drink from. There are now winners in this, due to 14 years of ideological ineptitude and Brexit. For slimy Seb Fox, Corrine Stockheath or Micheal Green or whatever he calls himself this week to sit there pontificating while his government have handed the bill to the poor and middle classes is hypocrisy in the extreme.

@@ridleyclayburn4599 I personally know one businessman who is ready to move his HQ to Dubai because Labour hasn't ruled out increases to corporation tax. All his business is conducted either over the phone or via his company's website, so he'll be saving the company 19% corporation tax. Of course, his dozen or so employees will be out of work until they find new employment, which means the government will lose the income tax and national insurance they currently pay. I'm certain plenty of other companies are starting to think in a similar vein too, because in a global digital society, headquarters can be moved with a click of a button. None of that matters to Labour though; they probably haven't even considered it, and if they have, well, they have principles to uphold. Am I worried? Yes, because I'll be retired in a couple of months, and I just know that with just a state pension and two modest private pensions paying out, I'm going to get caned along with millions of others.
He's claiming Labour are going to behave like the Tories have for the last 14 years. He's also a dribbling liar.
Tory says Labour will increase tax. From a government which has imposed the highest tax burden since the 1940s.

Oh but that was ok, according to Grant Four Names
This BS is all they have
Isn't it strange that Tory ministers always know precisely how much tax we'll be paying under Labour, but ask them about their own plans and they "haven't got the figures in front of me".
Desperate tax smears.
Taxes are good, I would rather pay by taxes to ensure that the rich pay theirs and actually have working public services, rather then paying slightly less taxes to ensure that the rich pay way less and have crumbling public services and infrastructure

By the Tories own calculations they've put up taxes by £13000 since 2019 and we are supposed to take lectures form them about other parties tax plans? Especially from one whose own private business was basically "con granny out of her savings", Do one Michael Green or whatever your real name is.
He got one thing right, he will be fighting for every vote.
the tory audacity has no limits....
All western countries have dept. they they will never be able to pay off. Where has all this money gone. These politicians work for the like of Blackrock.
What tax did they reduce.
I don't think anyone is going to take lessons on taxation from the highest taxing government in history...tone deaf springs to mind
Kay Burley is a terrible interviewer. Where are the questions about austerity and the refusal to borrow when the cost of borrowing was at an all time low? Perhaps she could question this nonsense about a 'super majority'. It's nonsense to talk about this in the UK. There's no practical difference in the UK between a majority of 80 and 200. The government is still in control.

More taxes aren’t necessarily a bad thing as long as they are spent wisely - that last bit is the problem and problem for both Conservatives and Labour
Sunak is done. We are sick & tired of the Tories. Conservatives Out, Sunak Out.
What ever department of defence he’s responsible for it sure isn’t the border of England
Labour would do something the Tories have never done - tax fairly, which means Shapps and his mates can't keep grifting off the country.

Nowt to do with tories raising of tax then. Or brexit. Or ppe fiddles. And so and so on. Think someone is afraid of the only seat he will keep is the toilet one he uses.
nobody believes him
Undoubtedly higher taxes or Labour will break their strict fiscal rules
Tories mean more higher taxes
It seems to me that all the tories can keep doing now is to opine about labour putting up tax. Haven't heard anything constructive from them. The Tory supermajority was a disatser.
Confusing car crash interview. Says he can win the GE. However warns of super majority. To him no party can have a super majority but his own
We’ve had 14 years of tax hikes !! And guess who’s been in charge? The highest taxes in history
How has politics got here? Bashing lies about LOWER TAX with no other substance or anything?
so who is going to believe this, if they already lied about it.
It's not over till the actual day. l don't want Labour, but l don't want Sunak either
Nobody's listening. The lies, corruption, and sheer incompetence have made us deaf to these chancers.
more taxes for him. not for your regular joe

The Labour statement is a maybe and you'd get something in return. Is the country falling even more apart than it currently is a better option? I don't think so.

It's the Union Jack next to him. Priceless! 😂😂😂
Biggest BS i've so far from a liar these lot are MAD
Can’t believe the brass neck of this bloke to criticise what Labour might do about taxation after they have raised them to the highest levels since World War Two.
It is not "IF" but "WHEN". Tories had 14 years to make sovereign Britain become GREAT and they made a piecemeal of it instead of following up on the opportunity. Labour will just be the nail in the coffin of what used to be a great country!
Sir Keir will tax the rich down to our level. Equality of income win be the standard. Your living stand will be met according to need.
Vote Reform!
Hopefully for the top 10%
Their manifesto now appears to be slagging off labour, very inspiring 😂
Defence secretary crawls out from Zelensky's rear end to issue a desperate plea
Grant will not say how much they plan to charge through taxes fot the council housing and state owned building can meet net zero from councils housi g to offices to hosp to tax office to schools. Remember one report says it would tax a 78% taxpayer for normal workers including min wage earners for the next 20 years and scraping all foreign aid and war budgets. Why doesnt grant tell the voters the truth on net zero and the whole truth on the cost in the next 5 years. They already know the cost of net zero but will not tell the voters who will demand it scrapped.
We have to pay taxes whatever Government's in power. And given that the Tories have broken literally everything in this Country, then there's going to be a lot that will need fixing. The difference between the Tories and Labour are that Labour will tax & spend for the public good, whereas the Tories will tax to supplement the income of themselves. Oh, and Shapps is a liar!

Im happy to pay more if I’m getting something back from it. Tories give nothing back.

Peach Schnapps as unconvincing as ever
he’s right what are we all thinking the tories have proved over the last 14 years how competent they are 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️
More taxes are not always a bad thing provided the public see something as a result of it! 14 years of Torie tax rises and nothing to show for it is what gets peoples goat!

More taxes if Tories win too. Neither party can change the black hole we have. Difference is that the Tories will protect those who have lots of spare cash
cynical clever cloggs it's amazing what shapps comes up with like the tories haven't ever increased taxation.
What a load of cobblers....
Love this, kay giving the most simply short questions, shapps talk talks talks, in other words digs the hole bigger.
